The Organización de Telecomunicaciones de Iberoamérica in Spanish and Organização das Telecomunicações Ibero-americanas in Portuguese (acronym OTI), formerly known as Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana / Organização da Televisão Ibero-americana (), is an organization of Spanish and Portuguese-language television networks in Ibero-America –comprising Latin America, Portugal, and Spain; as well as Canada, Equatorial Guinea, Netherlands Antilles, and the United States–. Its original mission was to foster relations between television broadcasting companies in the region to share their knowledge and experience.

The Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI) in Spanish, also Organização da Televisão Ibero-americana (OTI) in Portuguese, was founded in Mexico City on 19 March 1971 as an organization of television broadcasting companies from Ibero-American countries. Its objective was to foster relations between the Spanish and Portuguese-language television broadcasters in the region, to share their knowledge and experience. Among other activities, it shared news, cultural, educational, and sports programming among its members. Its first president, in office between 1971 and 1997, was Guillermo Cañedo de la Bárcena.[2][3]

Between 1972 and 2000, OTI organized the OTI Festival, an international song competition between its member broadcasters that was transmitted live via satellite to all of them, and which gave many famous artists and hit songs in the countries in which it was broadcast.[4]

Between 1977 and 1983, Televisión Española (TVE) with the support of OTI, produced the weekly magazine 300 millones. This variety show, with musical performances, cultural and news reports, interviews, and contests, was broadcast in Spain and transmitted to the Spanish-language OTI member broadcasters via satellite.[5]

TVE also conducted via satellite once every weekday the Servicio Iberoamericano de Noticias, the news exchange service between the OTI member broadcasters and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)'s Eurovision news exchange service.[6]

OTI secured the television broadcasting rights for its members in their countries of major international events such as the Olympic Games, FIFA World Cups, Copa América, etc.[7]

Organización de Telecomunicaciones de Iberoamérica

In April 2016, OTI was renamed to Organización de Telecomunicaciones de Iberoamérica in Spanish, and Organização das Telecomunicações Ibero-americanas in Portuguese. Its members went from only television broadcasting companies to telecommunications companies in general.
